<H2>windownames</H2>
<HR>
Get name of current or all windows
<HR>

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>windownames</B> [<B>all</B>|<I>type</I>] <BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
         where <I>type</I> is one of the window types known
	 to the <B>specialopen</B> command, which are:
	 <B>layout</B>, <B>wind3d</B>, <B>color</B>, and <B>netlist</B>.
      </BLOCKQUOTE>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>windownames</B> command returns a list of <B>magic</B>
      windows as specified by the command options.  No options is
      equivalent to option <B>all</B>, and prints the names of all
      existing windows.  Otherwise, windows can be listed by <I>type</I>,
      where <I>type</I> is the type of window as understood by the
      <B>specialopen</B> command. <P>

      The Tcl/Tk version of magic returns the full Tk path name of each
      window, including any parent frames.  The non-Tcl/Tk version of
      magic returns window IDs (the ID is an integer number used by the
      <B>setpoint</B> command.

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>windownames</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
      The Tcl version returns a Tcl list of Tk path names for each window.
      The non-Tcl version of magic writes the window list to standard output.
